Nurses’ Home For Suva

From Our Own Correspondent.

SUVA, June 23.

A START has been made in Suva with the erection of the new Government pharmacy. This is to be a concrete build ing, and will occupy a site near the wharf, alongside the Government bond.

The present pharmacy is an old wooden building near the Post Office, and is now too small for the work of the department.

Another public work which has been wanted for some time, and with which a start has been made, is the new Euro pean nurses’ quarters at the Colonial War Memorial Hospital. Complaints of overcrowding in the nurses’ quarters have been heard for years now, and the new building will fill a long felt want.

An up-to-date structure with all con veniences is provided for in the plans.
